Replicel Is On Fire Lately — Data In Feb.

[That Guy]

Times have definitely changed. If image used to be 50% of the formula its now become 80%. No one had a weird obsession with getting a particular physique in the 60's, or having the ideal jawline, lip fillers etc ...

Like hell they didn't lol. The 60s were the peak of athletic, body-building guys like Bruce Lee and boxers or models like Raquel Welch. sh*t, it was the golden-age of Playboy. You really think people didn't aspire to be like that? It's just that they didn't really have the plastic surgery tech back then like they do now.

Trends come and go but what the points you have made previously are still symptomatic not of an increased focus on looks, but rather the impact looks make coming more into focus for more people since they're more consciously aware of what other people think and desire.

If anyone thinks that you have to be some 9 or 10 to even be considered by certain 'better' looking people then they've probably got some serious image issues stemming from their younger years when they must have felt for whatever reason very inadequate

No, you generally have to be a 9 to get with a 9. That's how it works. Exceptions to this rule are simply that — exceptions that confirm the rule.

The vast majority of incredibly good looking woman i know is typically married to a pretty ordinary looking not that special guy (physically).

This is a mandatory statement of every guy who has succumbed to this delusion and almost every time, the examples he will provide are people who are indeed similar in appearance. Also, you can't include couples that have been together for 20 years in this. What did they look like when they met?

Some people on this forum have got a serious hang up about physical attraction and not feeling like they look good enough, but what i've noticed about these people is more often than not, they're somewhat reclusive and have never even had a single girlfriend or active social life - so no doubt they think up these ideas to such an extent.

Yeah, some of them certainly are, but it doesn't necessarily mean the conclusion is wrong: Good-looking women get with good-looking men and hair is an important part of that for the overwhelming majority.

These same people will also realise when/if they ever get a head of hair they're comfortable with these issues they've dreamt up will still remain because they're success in life socially or otherwise is far more governed by what they're like as actual people.

Yeah, some of them will, but that still is not terribly relevant. Sexual attraction is the foundation of any romantic relationship; you have to WANT to f*** the other person and that depends on sexual characteristics. Things like good personality and sh*t are found in most of the people we'd call "friends"...what separates people you like as just a friend from potential life partners you'd have children with? Think about it.

Now I shall generalize: The kind of guys who would typically share your staunch stance of "It's not that big of a deal! Personality! Etc." when it comes to the subject of dating are the kinds who usually fall into one of two very-closely related camps.

• Men who think that women's sexual desires are completely different from men's, so it provides them with encouragement in going after women way out of their league.

• Men who know that women's sexual desires are driven by the same primal instincts, but are afraid of this because it means they cannot control how she feels toward them sexually, in any honest manner, via money, humour, etc.

Regardless of what may or may not be true about the introverts and sh*t, the harsh reality is that hair, as well as good looks — whether in romance or business — are always in demand and will never hurt you to have them.

This is the problem. You're not even thinking within the norm. You're picking a handful of internationally recognised figures who were their best at whatever of their time. Thats not real life. The normal non famous 'athletic' people of the 60's were just skinny and in ok shape - nothing special, nor unachievable by 99% of people.

No, you generally have to be a 9 to get with a 9. That's how it works. Exceptions to this rule are simply that — exceptions that confirm the rule.

Bullshit. The most average guy in my friendship group manages to get the best looking women - he has the presence, the charisma, charm and dominance... there is far more to do with a male's physical attraction than how pretty and Hollywood compatible their face is. I mean literally look at Emily Ratajkowski's ex boyfriend and current husband...

Yes looks are important, they will more often than not be the initial draw to someone. But personality will always be more important in the long run. If anyone thinks otherwise then i will assume they haven't been out in the world long enough.

İnteresting that nobody talks about the attractiveness of money, a certain position like CEO, Manager, Prof or something desirable except the good looking aspect

I agree fully. There are lots of things that make someone attractive.

 

[d3nt3dsh0v3l]

They don't "sometimes" make things easier in a romantic context; they always do. Suggesting otherwise suggests a complete lack of experience. The better-looking people are easier to talk to even if you are ugly.

When I decided to give a f*** about my appearance, cut my hair, working out, wearing better clothes, got my teeth fixed, and bothered to shave more than once or twice a week; when I went to college, the kinds of girls that I could only fantasize about even talking to just a couple years prior in highschool, came over, sat down beside me, and started conversations.

As for your "marginal" benefits in other areas, I'd strongly recommend you read up on the shitloads of research showing how attractive people more often land desirable jobs even if they are under-qualified for the position and such. There is also a lot of research indicating that (black pill of the day) good-looking people are on average also smarter. The bitter truth is that being good-looking yields a tremendous amount of social benefits.



I've never heard anyone argue the first two points and as for the third...well, a lot of things that can make you look like sh*t (hairloss) have also been linked to underlying health issues; like cardiovascular diseases.



For a lot of people? Probably. For your sweeping generalization? No.



Losing organs (a bodypart) in your scalp and suffering the social fallout, depression and other things that can come with this, is not a part of "adulting" like buying a goddamn house. Most people don't have to deal with this until they're quite a bit older, if they have to deal with it at all.

All you are really saying is that sex sells and that if you can sell it, you'll find people who buy it and buy into you.
That's well known.
One of these days, I hope it will become apparent to you that while how you look influences people, how you make others feel is equally if not more important, and a lot of that has to do with aspects other than looks alone.
Selling sex alone won't be a guiding light through life. Of course it can range from dominating a situation - like picking up people at a bar - to being icing on the cake at best, like in technical professions. Looking good alone is not a ticket to first class. Selling sex only gets you so far. It's certainly not worth obsessing over, for most people. And especially not to the extent that this forum, or garbage incel culture, does.

But go ahead, add to the echo chamber.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Sean Connery, Jason Statham and all those other guys must have had it it terribly hard to find a woman for reproductive purposes. Those guys better give up / have given up on life years ago.

Of course looks matter, but some are taking it too far obviously. But such is logical on a hair loss forum. Probably on bobybuilding forums, members attribute all lack of success to not having enough muscle or being too fat, while downplaying the effect of hair loss. Forums frequented by poor people will say that muscle, fat and hair are irrelevant, as long as you have money. Black Lives Matter forums will say that even if you are rich, muscular, lean and with a full head of hair, you still will get nowhere as a black male. Fora for short people will say the society is "heightist", and that nothing matters anymore if you are south of 5"7", even having everything else in check.

Etc.etc.

I can't believe you've made it 28 years and can't grasp the fact that most people are actually pretty good people.

Keep telling yourselves that hot blonde at the beach gave you a fake number because you just weren't funny or "confident" enough if you're a 5.

Keep telling yourselves that being bald won't be a big deal and people will see past it for your other qualities shared by 90% of the population.

The rest of us will be happy in the real world, where we understand that the whole package matters and are capable of honest self-evaluation in our odds of achieving our goals and what needs to be done if we are lacking.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Sean Connery, Jason Statham

Connery is ugly af and always has been.

Johnson and Statham are in the 1% of bald guys who look pretty good in spite of it and even then, you'll find a lot of women who wouldn't f*** them because "bald guys aren't my 'type'".

Dude your attitude towards reality and people is incredibly warped. You better be really really really good looking or you're setting yourself up for one hell of a depressing life with that view point.

I bet if you asked 100 women whats wrong with Jason Statham and the rock, less than 10% would even mention their hair..

I don't think the Rock and Statham are where the are because they are handsome men. I think they clearly have other things going on.

The same is true for Connery. Google "Sean Commery Sex symbol" and you'll get a shitload of hits. Why, if he is "ugly af" and looks are so important? Anyway, enough evidence to discern the notion that "it is always game over for bald people". Yes, it is not a positive, but life is more complex than dead follicles on your head.

But let's return to the topic at hand. Any actual news on Replicel / Shiseido?

You cant escape the Impact of hair loss section it seems

I said how you make people feel. Not just whether you are good or bad. I was speaking more to the tune of not being boring - I don't know where you got this "good people" business from.

Oof too much time spent with inceldom I'm afraid. Just goes to show that intelligence doesn't guard one against dysmorphia (which was never disputed).

I've noticed that you are projecting very hard onto my romantic life. Pretty unlike you to resort to that, Thatguy. Stick to the facts.

Also, I almost mentioned this last time but I figured I didn't have to until you just made it obvious that I do. Hair may be a significant portion of looks, but it ain't everything. One can clean up well regardless and likewise appear disheveled as a fullhead.

By the way, I'm in Texas. Plenty of blondes, plenty of bald guys - you mad?

All these guys you mentioned got in the business with thick and normal hair. By the time they’re bald, they were already established and well respected celebrities. Balding to them is so insignificant since they can have anything/any women they want. Average balding folks have to compete with other average folks with thick hair.

Good luck finding a job as an actor being bald, it won’t happen. Unless you get a gig as a cancer patient.

Lol exactly. And so the illusion shatters once more.

Not to mention, all of them looked better with hair.

and you know what's funny? When sh*t like RepliCel and Follica hits the market, I guarantee you that every single one of these "bald action heroes" is going to have it done.

Watch how quickly the rhetoric will change and you'll see these guys championing them backpedal so hard it will reverse the Earth's rotation.

Jason Statham looks far better without hair.

The other thing being that a very high % of bald people actually really don't give a f*** - unlike those (us) on a hairloss forum.

 

[Dat5Years]

Please god can Lookism not infect threads about treatments?

 

[Javell]

Jason Statham looks far better without hair.

No, he would have looked better with hair if he did not slick back his hair and grew some bangs.
At that time he was already receding.
